Commodity box

ABSTRACT

A commodity box, on a first and a second planes of which are formed a first and a second through holes, between the first and the second through holes is arranged a connecting member, and a transparent layer is attached to and covers the first and second planes. By such arrangements, the commodity in the commodity box can be kept from dust by the transparent layer and displayed clearly through the first and second through holes. Furthermore, in the first and second through holes is arranged a reinforcing rib for improving the strength of the commodity box.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a commodity box, and more particularlyto a commodity box that can be produced easily and can display thecommodity from different angles.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Generally, there are three types of commodity box. The first typecommodity box as shown in FIG. 1 comprises a base 100 formed with anopen recess 101 for accommodation of a commodity S, so that thecommodity S can be clearly seen by consumers. However, since the openrecess 101 is open and has no cover, the commodity S will get soiledeasily. The second type commodity storing box as shown in FIG. 2comprises a seat 200 on which sits the commodity S for sale, and then atransparent cover 201 covers the commodity S for prevention of dust. Theshortcoming of this box is that the transparent cover 201 is high costand not easy to be produced since it is made by molding process.Furthermore, the transparent cover 201 and the seat 200 are not made ofrecycle material and cannot be reused, this causes resources waste andenvironmental contamination. The third type of commodity box as shown inFIG. 3 comprises a base 300 and a through hole 301 formed on a side ofthe base 300, the through hole 301 is covered with a transparent tape302 (as shown in FIG. 4). The commodity S is stored in the base 300 ofthe commodity box, and the consumer only can see a part of the commodityS through the hole 301, furthermore, adhering the transparent tape 302is troublesome since the transparent tape 302 needs to be cut into apredetermined size and then can be adhered to the inner side of the base300 to cover the through hole 301.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances inview.

It is one object of the present invention to provide a commodity box forstorage of commodity, a first and a second through holes are formed on afirst and a second planes of the commodity box, and between the firstand the second through holes is arranged a connecting member, and then atransparent layer is attached to and covers the first and second planes.By such arrangements, the commodity in the commodity box can be keptfrom dust by the transparent layer and displayed clearly through thefirst and second through holes. Furthermore, the commodity is low costand can be produced easily, and the transparent layer is made of recyclematerial friendly to environment.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a commodity boxfor storage of commodity, in the above-mentioned first and secondthrough holes is added a reinforcing rib, so as to improve the strengthof the commodity box, the reinforcing rib in the first through hole isconnected to the first plane and the connecting member, and anotherreinforcing rib in the second through hole is connected to the secondplane and the connecting member.

The present invention will become more obvious from the followingdescription when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodimentsin accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, a commodity box 10 in accordance with anembodiment of the present invention is provided for accommodation ofcommodity S and at least comprises: a first plane 11 and a second plane12. The first plane 11 and the second plane 12 are formed with a firstthrough hole 13 and a second through hole 14, respectively, and betweenthe first through hole 13 and the second through hole 14 is a connectingmember 15 that includes a horizontal portion 151 and a vertical portion152. The horizontal portion 151 is located on the first plane 11, whilethe vertical portion 152 is located on the second plane 12. Both leftand right ends of the horizontal portion 151 are connected to the edgeof the first through hole 13, while both left and right ends of thevertical portion 152 are connected to the edge of the second throughhole 14.

The connecting member 15 generally includes three variations, the firsttype is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The second type is shown in FIG. 7 andonly has a horizontal portion 151 located on the first plane 11, bothleft and right ends of the horizontal portion 151 are connected to theedge of the first through hole 13, and the front and rear ends of thehorizontal portion 151 are located between the edge of the first throughhole 13 and that of the second through hole 14. A third type connectingmember 15 is shown in FIG. 8 and only has a vertical portion 152 locatedon the second plane 12, the left and right ends of the vertical portion152 are connected to the edge of the second through hole 14, while thefront and rear ends of the vertical portion 152 are located between thefirst through hole 13 and that of the second through hole 14.

The first plane 11 and the second plane 12 are covered with atransparent layer 20 (as shown in FIG. 9), so that the consumers can seethe commodity S in the commodity box 10 clearly through the first andsecond through holes 13, 14 (as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6).

Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, several planes of the commodity box 10(there are three planes as shown in FIGS. 10, 11) are formed withthrough holes, so that the consumers can see the commodity S fromdifferent angles.

The first and second through holes 13, 14 as previously mentioned are atleast provided with a reinforcing rib 18 (as shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 12)for improving the strength of the commodity box 10. The reinforcing rib18 in the first through hole 13 is connected between the first plane 11and the connecting member 15, and another reinforcing rib 18 in thesecond through hole 14 is connected between the second plane 12 and theconnecting member 15.

As compared to the conventional commodity box, the present invention hasthe following advantages:

First, the commodity box 10 and the transparent layer 20 are made ofrecycle paper and plastic material, which can be reused and areenvironment friendly.

Second, the transparent layer 20 is attached to the first and secondplanes 11, 12 of the commodity box 10 directly without needing to beproduced by an extra molding process.

Third, the first and second through holes 11, 12 are covered by thetransparent layer 20, so that the commodity S can be kept from dust.

Fourth, the connecting member 15 is integrally formed on the-commoditybox 10 for enabling the transparent layer 20 to be attached to the firstand second planes 11, 12 firmly, the production process will be easy andsimple.

Fifth, the commodity box 10 has more than two through holes located atdifferent planes, so that the commodity S can be displayed more clearly.
